No they did not invent directional audible sound using ultrasonics.

But it takes a lot of processing power and equipment to do and if the company can turn this into an affordable product, it will be impressive. Students at ANU have worked in the processing needed for phased array radar for the Australian and US military, which works on the same principle.

Perhaps out of phase sound could be sent by the same system, so the speaker's voice would be muffled.

It doesn't really generate sound in people's heads ...

Yes, hearing sounds from their fillings works differently (if it works at all).

Comedian and TV producer Lucille Ball claimed to have intercepted signals from Japanese spies in WWII through her fillings and reported it to the FBI.

Her company went on to produce the original series of Star Trek, so it is surprising Captain Kirk did not have a tooth mounted communicator. ;-)
